This allows the user some flexibility in both pitch and timing, with more notes being required in noisy environments, or when the user is far from the phone.

As an option, the phone might listen in this manner for only a minute every quarter of an hour.

This is an application, which listens for the user whistling a tune, and then does some action (ringing, ...).

The CPU is put into a low power mode where it still has enough compute power to take the signal from the microphone, divide it into
many frequency bands, then store these in a short history.
